makongeni
(coastal camp)
Your adventure
begins just south of Mombasa, at the Makongeni Camp which is your
base for four days spent working with the local villagers (who live
in what can only be described as 'jungle-beach' villages), on a
variety of community development projects, ranging from teaching,
building and refurburbishing classrooms to planting trees and making
desks. The work is 'full-on', but great fun. You will need to be
prepared to get hot and sweaty (and probably covered in paint as
well), but satisfaction is guaranteed - especially as the local
children are almost certain to want to lend a hand!
Our
partners in Kenya have an excellent policy of not only employing
local labour - providing much needed employment, but actively
funding and contributing to the infrastructure of the local
villages. Your holiday in Kenya will make sure you take home
fantastic memories, but leave behind something that will benefit the
people who have welcomed you into their world.
Some basic Swahili
lessons will be also be given to help you to make the most of this
incredible experience. Accommodation is in well-equipped tents with
shared facilities.
mwaluganje
elephant sanctuary (working safari)
Your next stop is
the Shimba Hills region, and Camp Mwaluganje is your base for three
days of living amongst the world’s densest population of elephants!
You will have the unique opportunity to get involved with projects
such as elephant identification, game trail marking and GPS mapping
— all to help preserve the elephants and the local communities by
reducing the impact of human and wildlife contact.
satao
rock / taita ranch / tsavao east - (big game safari)
Time to enjoy the
activities of a more traditional ‘safari’, with jeep rides to view
the ‘Big Five’ and nights spent overlooking waterholes where
cheetah, warthog, impala and baboons amongst others, come for
refreshment. For two nights enjoy the luxury offered in your ensuite
tents and appreciate the spectacular views of an African sunset from
the comfort of your verandah.
back
to the beach!
Enjoy a final
couple of days back at Camp Makongeni, catching up with friends and
relaxing on the shores on the Indian Ocean. Take the opportunity to
go game fishing, try a scuba dive, perhaps visit the city of Mombasa
for some last-minute shopping, or simply soak up the rays!
There is
plenty of night-time entertainment for the young at heart - bars,
clubs and discos aplenty.
Foe the
even more adventurous, we can arrange post-project travel or
excursions ranging from extra days relaxing on the beach through to
a week spent climbing the spectacular Kilimanjaro. |
